In the right time and I think it resonated, spoke or represented a generation of people who needed that at that time or wanted that at that time and I was in the very blessed position to be the carrier of that message”

She explains that the music allowed her to grow, The album’s title was inspired by the film and autobiographical novel The Education of Sonny Carson, and Carter G. Woodson’s The Mis-Education of the Negro and incorporates musical elements of R&B, hip hop, soul, reggae, and gospel. Certified eight times Platinum in the United States.
